Zac Lomax's Transfer Saga Continues

0:00It's March 2nd, here's your Adelaide news in two minutes. Rugby League stars Zach Lomax's future took another twist this week. Lawyers for the player and the paramedic eels convinced the new South Wales Supreme Court judge to delay a trial so they could keep negotiating his. Release from his contract. Lomax left the eels last November on a now $700,000 a year deal after a failed move to the delayed R360 Rugby Union League. He now wants to join the Melbourne Storm for the upcoming NRL season starting in Las Vegas. The eels have blocked a switch. Demanding compensation since Lomax knew he'd need their OK to jump to another NRL club. The Storm has offered $300,000, including $211,000 in salary cap relief, but no deal yet. Paramedic chief executive Jim Sarantino showed up in court while top lawyers from both sides push for more time after overnight talks. Justice Francois Cunc granted the adjournment, helping date settle without a full 7-day trial.

1:01This comes right as the NRL season kicks off, with closing arguments now set for March 17th, after round 2. A quick settlement could let Lomax play early for the Storm. Meanwhile, Melbourne needs wingers badly with Xavier Coates out until round 10 from injury and fullback Ryan Papinhoi's in gone. Rising star Sue Affa Alogo is filling in at fullback, making Lomax's potential arrival even more crucial. Support for this D&N episode comes from our sponsor, head in, sound on, lights out.
